SIEGMUN D LUBIN, JOHN J. FRAWLEY, AND ALBERT ABRAHAM, OF PHILA- DELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA; SAID FRAWLEY TO SAID LUBIN.

AND ABRAHAM ASSIGNORS NOSE-REST FOR EYEGLASSES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 356,410, dated January 18. 1887.

Application filed September 16, 1886.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, SIEGMUND LUBIN, JOHN J. FRAWLEY, and ALBERT ABRAHAM, all of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, havejointly 5 invented a new and useful Improvement in Eyeglasses, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a pair of eyeglasses embodying our invention; Fig. 2, a

0 side elevation of the inner end of one of the lens'frames of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, an enlarged detail elevation of part of Fig; 1; and Fig. 4. a side elevation of the outer end of one of the lens-frames of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Our invention consists as. hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, A are the lens-frames, upon the inner ends of which are formed proj cations or studs 0, to which, by means of screws D, are connected the ends of the bridge or connecting-spring B.

F are nose-rests, each upon its back at one side and intermediately of its length being provided with a lug, G. The nose-rests F, as shown in the drawings, and their lugs G, are formed of metal, in any desired manner, and are, upon their inner or clamping surfaces, provided with a cushion of rubber or other proper material. The nose-rests are, by means of the lugs G, pivotally mounted upon the inner and lower ends of nose-rest supports E, the outer ends of which are, at D, attached to the eyeglass-lens frames, or to attachments thereto.

The nose-rest supports Eare L-shaped, and are so attached to the lens-frames that the arm or branch of each of said supports upon the 40 end of which the respective nose-rests are pivotally mounted extend inwardly from and Serial No. 213,722. (No model.)

at an approximate right angle to the lenses, with the result that the glasses can, when in use, be adjusted at a suitable distance from and angle to the eye of the user, and with the further result that the nose-rests are, by the arms of the supports upon which they are respectively mounted, prevented from moving beyond certain limits, as is clearly shown in the drawings.

It will be obvious that the construction above described permits the self-adjustment of the nose-rests, as shown in full and dotted lines, respectively, in Figs. 1 and 3, and that it provides a simple and inexpensive eyeglass-frame the nose-rests of which may properly and comfortably adjust themselves to the nose of the wearer, and yet be limited as to their movement beyond the extreme positions required by noses of various shapes and sizes.

Having thus described our invention, we claim- In combination with an eyeglass-frame, noserests, each, on its back, at one side and intermediate of its length, provided with alug, and 63 L-shaped nose-rest supports, each, at the end of its vertical branch or arm, attached to the eyeglass-frame, and, at the end of its arm which extends inwardly from and at an approximate right angle to the lenses, pivotally connected with the nose-rest lugs respectively, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto signed our names this 8th day of September, A. D. 1886.

SIEGMUND LUBIN. JOHN J. FRAWLEY. ALBERT ABRAHAM.
